TubeWrite: Freedom of the Mind

There is a place for art and writing on YouTube. This entry into the TubeWrite competition seeks to prove how a visual and auditory medium can enhance one's writing and the experience of the audience. YouTube can bring a poem to life - poetry is not merely words, it is emotion and a means of connection between people. Quite like YouTube is ;)


"Freedom of the Mind"

Who do we think that we be?
Deeming ourselves so classless and free?
While enslaved by society's silent decree -
Blinded thus have we been taught to see.

Marching solemnly on the next enemy
Whose face is masked by our master's glee.
No longer is there and I or a Me -
Only a Them against a We.

While locked is the will and lost the key,
My mind shall be forever free.
Upon soft shore stands tall me -
Gazing out to the rolling sea.

Freedom by definition is absence, i really don't want to be free-minded

[TheRavenOfPoe]

@IsraeliXdude Freedom is also defined as the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints :)

[IsraeliXdude]

@TheRavenOfPoe There is no freedom of thought there is no freedom of action, we are bound and responding to the forces.
